Zechariah 12:6 in Context — Zechariah 12

4 Naquele dia,diz o SENHOR, ferirei com espanto a todo cavalo, e com loucura ao cavaleiro; mas sobre a casa de Judá abrirei meus olhos, e a todo cavalo dos povos ferirei com cegueira.

5 Então os líderes de Judá dirão em seu coração: Os moradores de Jerusalém serão minha força no SENHOR dos exércitos seu Deus.

6 Naquele dia farei dos líderes de Judá como um braseiro de fogo debaixo da lenha, e como tocha de fogo debaixo de gravetos; e consumirão todos os povos ao redor à direita e à esquerda; e Jerusalém continuará habitada em seu lugar, em Jerusalém.

7 E o SENHOR salvará primeiramente as tendas de Judá, para que a glória da casa de Davi e a glória dos moradores de Jerusalém não se exaltem sobre Judá.

8 Naquele dia o SENHOR defenderá os moradores de Jerusalém; e o que mais fraco dentre eles, naquele dia será como Davi; e a casa de Davi será como Deus, como o anjo do SENHOR diante deles.
